Over the mountain is the sea

Chapter 23 "Stupid" Confession ([-])

Graduation was approaching, and the students were all in a frenzy of looking for jobs. Yi Nan also hoped to stay in City C. After all, this is a provincial capital, with all kinds of opportunities that small towns can't match.

Liang Zhongming once asked Yi Nan tactfully if he needed his help, but Yi Nan flatly refused, not because she was lofty, but because she naively thought that if she accepted the other party's kindness, the friendship that had been so hard to maintain until now would be ruined. Dust, no more purity.

Although the company I practiced at was good, but because it was just an office and not the mainstay of the headquarters, it was like a pool of stagnant water, too calm, and time always felt like it was stagnant here. For a young man like Yi Nan who has just stepped out of school and is ready to make a difference, it is really too early.

Together with her classmates, she merged into the torrent of the turbulent talent market. After several tumbling and cleaning, she finally found a job as she wished, working as an engineering assistant in a new production-oriented enterprise.

After officially graduating, Yi Nan shared a room with a few close classmates and lived in it lively, as if they just moved from one dormitory to another.Of course, this room is obviously more free, and there is no control over the dormitory supervisor.

The new environment and new job made Yi Nan very excited. What made her even more excited was that from now on, she no longer had to ask her mother for money. Instead, she could give back to her grandparents.

When she received her first salary, even though she didn't have much money, she still treated a guest boldly, and the object of the treat was naturally Liang Zhongming.

Under the soft orange light of the box, the waiter opened a bottle of champagne for them.Liang Zhongming looked at Yinan's shining eyes and flushed face, and said with a smile, "Well, you can make money now, you are an adult."

He just arrived in City C in the morning and had a whole day of meetings. Even his smile was a little tired at this time, but his mood was relaxed.

In the past, Liang Zhongming took it for granted that every time he ate, but this time, Yinan threatened her to come, feeling a little proud.

Yi Nan sniffed the fine wine in the glass contentedly, with a smug expression on his face.

"Are grandpa and grandma very happy?" He used serving chopsticks to pick up vegetables on her plate, and her appetite had always been good.

Yi Nan smiled sweetly and said, "Grandpa said that he hasn't been dizzy for the past two days, and I laughed at him for having too strong a mental effect!"

Liang Zhongming held his wine glass and listened to her talk with a smile. He could feel the obvious happiness of that family, and couldn't help feeling envious.

Sometimes, happiness cannot be piled up with money, and his deepest experience over the years is that the more wealth he has, the more happiness will be farther and farther away from him.

When he was with her, the time always felt too short, and it flew by inadvertently. At the end, he took Yinan to the bathroom and paid the bill secretly.

When he came out, Yi Nan's mouth was still pouting in dissatisfaction, he saw it in his eyes, it was amused and pity, he paused and said: "Buy something for grandparents, this is your first salary. "

Money was nothing to him, what moved him was her outpouring of heart, and he vaguely felt that it was too heavy for him.

Of course, Yi Nan didn't think as far as he did. She did everything based on her intuition, and rarely thought of exploring the reasons until that day, that moment, when everything changed dramatically.

Years later, Yi Nan tried hard to recall exactly how the incident happened that day, and if it was really just her whim, then what was the reason for the subsequent entanglement.

She thought about it for a long time, but just shook her head. Feelings, there is no way to find a clear-cut path. It always quietly moves along its own inherent trajectory, not listening to people's commands, and not being controlled by reason.

Liang Zhongming also mentioned his family to her once, but a few words were enough to make her understand what a perfect life he had.

Perhaps, her mistake was that she thought she was rational, and that's why she walked beside him with peace of mind, without feeling weird or subtle at all.

For a while, he suddenly came rarely and rarely contacted Yi Nan, and she was in the distress of not being able to adapt to the new work and new environment. She complained to the classmates around her, but they were in a similar situation and were helpless, except to complain and vent their anger. , there is no other way.

Yi Nan's mood gradually fell into an unprecedented downturn, but he couldn't explain why, and it seemed that it was not entirely because of work.

It wasn't until she received Liang Zhongming's call again, and something fell quietly in her heart, that she vaguely understood where her restlessness came from.

That day, she who was walking beside Liang Zhongming became strangely silent, and even Liang Zhongming became confused, so the initiative to speak shifted from Yi Nan to his side.

It was always her who spoke and he listened, and the sudden change of position made him extremely uncomfortable. This was different from meeting or speaking in front of employees. For the first time, he realized that he did not have much experience dealing with girls of this age, especially when When she quiets down.

"Did...something happen?" Finally, he couldn't help but asked her speculatively.

Yi Nan's initial state of mind was indeed filled with resentment, although she knew it was unreasonable, but more, it was her new understanding of her own feelings, which was a brand new and blurred image. Unclear, hope mixed with panic made her extra quiet tonight.

She shook her head, trying her best to suppress the strange emotion rising in her heart, but she didn't expect that it would be the opposite, and she became even more irritable because of it.

"Shall we go to the bar?" She suddenly proposed without thinking.

Liang Zhongming was very surprised. He looked down at her, but Yi Nan just lowered his head and explained in a low voice, "Our classmates have been there before, and I really want to see her too."

He indulged her anyway because she was unhappy, although he didn't know why.

The bar has only prospered in this city in the past two years, and he has no in-depth research on it, neither necessary nor interested.He led her into a relatively modest-looking facade.

Pushing open the door, only to find that the judgment was wrong, the inside was loud and noisy, loud and piercing music, crazy swinging crowd, DJ stood in the center of the stage, leading the dance hoarsely.

Liang Zhongming frowned, and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Yi Nan, "Let's just stay here, it's good."

Tonight, she needs some stimulation to subvert her chaotic state of mind.

They sat in a row of chairs by the bar and ordered two beers.

Yi Nan gulped down a gulp, and soon the cup was turned upside down. She raised her hand heartily to wipe the corners of her mouth, and grinned at Liang Zhongming, who was staring at her intently.

He was just sitting there leisurely, with a calm face, but he had an indisputable poise. Compared with the passionate young people around him, he was more like a warm harbor, no matter what storms and waves could not sweep away his grace Even a smile can't break his stable state of mind.

Yi Nan looked a little fascinated, but she was sure that she was not drunk, it was just a small glass of beer!

"I want another cup." She reached out and patted the countertop.

Liang Zhongming made a stop gesture to the waiter, "Give her a glass of orange juice, thank you!"

He could see that there was a little drunkenness in her watery eyes, and he frowned unconsciously.He has always regarded her as an innocent little girl, and her temper is straightforward, the kind that is easiest to control.But tonight, he suddenly discovered that this little girl was transforming unknowingly, like all women, becoming elusive and moody.

An unprecedented strange atmosphere quietly spread around, as if if he didn't pay attention, it would be beyond his control. His heart seemed to be tightly clenched by a hand, and he suddenly became uneasy.
